How many times do we ask ourselves if we are doing the right thing when making so many decisions every day? How many of them are the right decisions? How many of them are really tough decisions?
We
all face these questions and some of us react immediately, some of us
take a little time and some of us procrastinate. Effective leaders will use a bit
of each depending on the challenge faced and sense of urgency.
Reviewing all the facts without emotions being involved is
my personal challenge. Instincts and gut feelings kick in and then
it's convincing the emotional side this is the right decision.
The easy way is going with the flow and saving the energy required to make the right decision. We want to make everyone happy, we do not want to create more challenges and we want to be liked. It is very difficult doing the right thing.
Sticking
to core values of honesty, integrity and taking the "high road" in
certain situations have been principles guiding my challenging decisions. Yes
sometimes they are incorrect decisions and you must react quickly to correct them if that is the case.
Is anyone Perfect out there?
Enjoying
all the things we have to face in a day and choose the path. Doing the right thing makes you a better and stronger leader.
